ADOR, represented by legal counsel Sejong, has responded to recent claims made by HYBE, aiming to clarify misconceptions and dispel public confusion surrounding the ongoing controversies.
In light of HYBE’s allegations of management usurpation, ADOR emphasized that CEO Min Hee-jin’s incentive was a recognition of significant operational achievements in ADOR’s short history rather than driven by financial motives as portrayed by HYBE.
ADOR also raised concerns over the public exposure of internal audit details, questioning the rationale behind such disclosures and their impact on the agency’s business operations. The agency stressed the importance of transparency and fair treatment in resolving disputes.
Regarding contractual negotiations, ADOR disputed HYBE’s characterization of CEO Min Hee-jin’s intentions, pointing out discrepancies in proposed agreements and commitments made by HYBE during the negotiation process. ADOR clarified that certain elements of the contracts were initiated by HYBE, not CEO Min Hee-jin, highlighting complexities in the discussions.
In response to personal attacks and allegations regarding management decisions, ADOR defended its achievements, attributing success to rational decision-making and collective efforts of the agency. ADOR expressed disappointment in HYBE’s approach, calling for constructive engagement to support ADOR’s ongoing initiatives.
Looking ahead, ADOR reiterated its commitment to supporting NewJeans’s activities and urged HYBE to refrain from unsubstantiated attacks, advocating for a fair and respectful resolution to the ongoing disputes.
ADOR’s statement underscores the challenges of corporate negotiations and emphasizes the importance of maintaining integrity and professionalism in the entertainment industry.
